I've made Ingwerkrachers!

[wiseheart]

Aka ginger meringues. Because we had a leftover egg white and we try not to throw out any food as long as it can still be used. So, here are my very economical little... things. Just an egg white, 100 gr sugar, 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Oh, and I added half a handful chopped cranberries on my own, to make them prettier... not that they'd have turned out visible, after all. *g*



Since meringues keep infinitely, I put them into a tin box and on the shelf for Christmas. We did sample them, of course, and the ginger counteracts the sweetness rather pleasantly.

Other than that, I did a bit of writing, a bit of translating, chatted on the phone with two friends... all in all, a pleasant day.

Mmh... I love³ Ingwerkracher, most of all if partially dipped in Schokolade(-nkuvertüre). :D

Doesn't that make them too sweet?

[apinkpanthress.livejournal.com]

Yes, if not done properly. But healthy teeth are so overrated anyway... ;) *jk*

But, I was thinking more of dipping it in dark couverture only by 1/5 or 1/4.

Oh, I see. The original recipe said they should be glued together with Nutella, and I really thought that would be the overkill.

Yes exactly, you can make them thinner and then put two together with Nutella in between them, a bit like Macarons. :D
Ach, there are many beautiful ways to make them.
